"Destruction of public property, stone pelting on trains, setting fire to government buildings -- where are we heading? Society has to rise in unison to name and shame these people. The system has to work in a manner to hold them accountable and penalise them fiscally also," he said.

"Someone gets a notice from a lawful authority. He or she happens to be a politician.

"People take to the streets. It is savagery. It is a violation of law. It is disrespect of democratic norms," he said.

The Law Commission recently recommended that compelling offenders should deposit the estimated value of the public property damaged by them as a condition for granting bail.

The panel also suggested that a comprehensive law should be put in place to address the issue of protests creating wilful obstruction and blocking public spaces and roads for prolonged periods.
